Abstract

We have measured the beta spectrum of the 0−(120 keV,t 1/2=5.25 μs) state of16N. The response function of our detector has been measured, parameterized and then fitted to known spectral shapes taken under conditions close to those in the actual experiment. Using this response function and subtracting a 56 μs half-life background due to neutron capture in the detector, the measured 0− spectrum compares well with the allowed shape for the 0−→0+ spectrum plus a small contribution from the allowed 0−→1− transition.
